Notes
I use salted peanut butter. I find it adds a lot more flavor than natural peanut butter, but any peanut butter works.
This recipe can be made with quick oats. They will require less cook time.
I love using soy milk for more protein. Use your milk of choice.
My toppings of choice are ground flax seeds and fresh berries if I have any on hand.
